I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Neil was a gifted songwriter and put on a great live show. May he rest in peace.

But "Castles in the Air" wasn't by him. That was Don McLean.

NGL, that giant stroke possibility is the only reason I ever watch his insane, off-the-rails, BS speeches. One of these days it will finally pay off.

Day 2️⃣3️⃣: A perfect song to sing along to

Bye bye, Miss American pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol boys were drinking whiskey & rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die"

Wow β€” β€œThe Kentucky Supreme Court struck down a law Thursday that would have allowed public funding to go to charter schools.”

Very different story here in Tennessee, where @GovBillLee and the privatizers attack public schools daily.

A large banner of Donald Trump was hung outside of the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC, emphasizing the White House’s control over the nation’s top law enforcement branch that once pursued criminal prosecutions against the president.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

100% true. Ike's 1952 GOP POTUS platform could be used word for word by Bernie/AOC today. In the last 75 years the entire political universe has shifted hard right. GOP started it and the Dems followed. 1960s bipartisanship used to yield a left leaning solution; today it yields a rightward one.

There might be billions of dollars going into the treasury as he claims.

But the REAL problem is they are our dollars (not some other country's euros, won, yen, krona/krone, peso, yuan, pound, lira, rupee, franc, riyal, rand, baht, zloty, or real, etc.).

Is our individual dot a different color? If not, is there a way to add that visualization option?
